An old comic from 2020:
Idea I had a while back before I had my surgery! Lupin being gay and not really knowing it is so my jam.
#Comic #Art #LupinIII

Comic page in black and white with grey textures. Jigen has Zenigata in his gun's viewfinder and says "Hey I got that dopey inspector in my sights." Lupin yells "NO! YOU CAN'T!" and the viewfinder blurs and moves away from Zenigata's head. Jigen asks "Lupin! What're you--?! What's the problem, he--" We see Lupin holding Jigen's sniper rifle down as the two sit on a roof together. Lupin responds "He's important to-- he's important to the plan!" The two go silent and Jigen pulls his large gun close to his chest.

Comic page in black and white with grey textures. Jigen is quiet as Lupin fiddles with a remote, he doesn't look at Jigen as he says "Don't ever touch him." A close-up on Jigen as he looks over to Lupin, realising that Lupin has feelings for Zenigata. We zoom out again, the two men are small against the top the roof wall. Jigen says "You got it, boss."

Love how this one turned out! We didn't originally mean to collab, but when I heard Amiel's idea the whole comic came to me in a flash and he graciously agreed to let me script it.

my comic for @tsushi.bsky.social 's Jigen Before and After zine, written by @mparker.bsky.social ! shoutout to Bobby Darin for the tunes 🎶
#lupiniii #lupinthethird #jigendaisuke

a bw comic page. jigen and lupin are seen with large bags of money, laughing. they cheers with large mugs of beer, saying "Kanpai!" Several panels show beer cans, wine glasses and a rye bottle stacking up on a table over time. Jigen wakes, bedraggled and bleary eyed in bed.

Jigen grabs his head, groaning. A close-up on his eye, as he remembers: Lupin's hand on his chest, his heartbeat in Jigen's ears. They look at each other, tension mounting, before Lupin closes the distance and kisses Jigen. Back to the morning after, Jigen pulls at his face as he groans "I'm gonna puke...."

Jigen, freshly showered, walks into the kitchen. Lupin's back is facing us and Jigen as he cooks up breakfast for them. Jigen's hand switches on a radio, as Bobby Darin's The Good Life begins to play in the background. He unfolds his newspaper and sits, back to Lupin, at the table.

Lupin doesn't turn around, and questions Jigen: "Do you remember anything from last night?" A flashback happens between the two, as Jigen and Lupin embrace, mouths barely apart, as the two currently stand awkwardly in the kitchen, pushed apart by the memory. Jigen grimaces, blushing, and says "No." as Lupin looks back slyly, knowing the truth anyways.

I have 2 (2!!) comics in here, one with @thesandlord.bsky.social and the other with @jpawlik.com. Jigen/Lupin fans you will want to check both of them out!

#linocut proof 2, couldn't stop thinking about this pilgrim badge I'd seen and needed to make art of it

a linocut print of a vulva wearing a crown, carried by three phalluses walking on grass. two winged phalluses are in the sky

the pilgrim badge that the illustration is based on. three golden phalluses carry a vulva wearing a crown on a pedestal.

Just in time for August I've finally finished the skull sweaters for myself and @jpawlik.com! These were my first big projects and I'm real pleased with how they turned out!

Two hand-made sweaters with skull designs on a bed. One is a mix of orange, black, and grey, while the other is brown.

For #bluepit💥 today I want to pitch "In Search of Analogue Days", an older trans woman falls out of love with photography. Upon finding herself, literally, Diana slowly rediscovers her love of photography.
#W #LGBT #TR #NA

Character lineup for "In Search of Analogue Days". "Diana Ying" is a thin older woman with greying brown hair and thick glasses. She's wearing a long pink cardigan with a white top, light blue pants and purple slip on shoes. She's holding a tiny camera in one hand. The pride flag beside her is the asexual flag with the trans and POC triangle on top. "Aidan Ryan" is a teen boy who's questioning his pronouns and gender. He's got short brown hair with bangs, and is wearing a simple white button up, a belt and black slacks. The pride flag beside him is the Questioning flag.
